The parade is located directly off a prominent main road with a regular bus service, enjoying excellent visibility and has high levels of natural footfall. Customer convenience is further enhanced by ample free car parking positioned directly in front of the premises.

Special remarks

The business has strong potential for improvment as it currently has no delivery service and accepts cash only (no card machines), offering immediate upside through modern payment options and online delivery integration. The site benefits from major area developments of new housing estate ( 900 homes within 500 yards ) and the erection of a new national supermarket across the estate is underway. This is an excellent opportunity for a young and energetic couple or family to take over and expand.
